How long more should I walk Blissey?
Per the responses to my question yesterday, I switched my buddy back to my level 26 (CP ~2350) wonder Blissey (which I previously walked 100km just to evolve).
I now have 3 Chansey candy and just hatched...a wonder Larvitar, earning a new Pokedex entry and 29 candy.
Considering that I cannot stick my current buddy in a gym, how long more should I walk Blissey? 40km (8 candy to reach level 27)? 80km (16 candy to reach level 28)? 120km (24 candy to reach level 29)?
While many areas suffer from gym stagnation, my local gym meta is the complete opposite, with even level 10 Blissey/Dragonite/Gyarados/Snorlax towers lasting less than a day. 2500 CP is enough to avoid the bottom spot in most gyms, though there are a few that start at 2800 CP.

If the gym meta is such that they don't last more than a day, why can't you go ahead and put the Blissey at the bottom spot in a tower? Does it really matter if you are the first mon kicked out or the last if it is going to happen anyways?
But, if you are asking, should I stop walking Blissey and start walking Larvitar, then there is more to consider.
Blissey is already level 26, and only needs 115KM walking to get to level 29. Which seems to be the point that you are shooting for. Larvitar, and congrats on your first one, can be evolved one evolution right now, but it will take 475KM of walking to evolve the Pupitar into a level 20 Tyranitar, then even more to make it useful.
So, the data needed to be analyzed is:
How much do you walk your buddy per day, and how long (in days) will it take to get to your goal for each Mon?
Which do you want more? Is it a matter of filling the dex, or bragging rights, or is it a personal preference?
Which are you in NEED OF more?
Personally, I'd continue to walk the Blissey until I have it at the level I want it, and hope that I hatch more Larvitar (or Chansey) while I am walking the Blissey. It seems to be a more effecient approach.
